Good luck. Increasing tuition to cover things people actually might use would be anti-Iowa State policy.
$40 is all it takes for the AD to break even on ticket sales, which is less than .1% of a tuition increase but it'll never happen. Instead we can raise it 7% next year (when the HEPI says 2-4% inflation) for less accountability and more stupidity.
Why would I pay $155 for student tickets/CA when I could pay $99 for a reserved season ticket that includes games over the breaks (that aren't included in student tickets)?
because $99 will put you up in the upper ends\corners whereas student ticket+CA will put you in parquet\arena circle where it costs $500+2500 donation to sit?
I would, however, give student ticket purchasers the right to walk-up free tickets on the day or week of winter-break games. That would let them come to those games but yet not leave a ton of prime seats empty.
'Cause the $99 seats don't come with cool stuff!
Just get the $99 tickets and join cyclone alley for the crap they give out. Save $ plus you get break games for free!
Ya i don't get why they don't include break games, it would count for attendance, and its not like they sell out the seats the students normally use.
Depends what you regard as free. Probably factored into student fees where everyone is paying for the athletic program - which is what many on here are advocating.
It lowers the cost for everyone and provides and incentive for all to go to games.
That is exactly what I did. And I even went back to Cyclone Alley after the first few games and said I never picked up my t-shirt. And got an extra one for my girlfriend who doesn't go here. And we both have everything that CA has handed out over the season. $99 seats FTW.
Full-time (12+ hours) Student Services Fee = $106.50 per semester.
Not FREE. I'd guess ~$30 of that goes to the Athletic Department per semester.

Personally I prefer the upper end seats that are about on the baseline, as opposed to CA seats behind the basket. I'm willing to sacrifice proximitiy to having a better angle towards the floor.
The $30 bucks you pay for Cyclone Alley goes to a lot of worthless garbage like props and stuff. T-shirts are fine but I don't give a crap about suspenders and foam noodles. How bout we come to games to watch the game, not to get some stupid junk.
If you have to pay $30 to get into CA, you pay $30 for CA, regardless of if they throw in the 'perk' of SAA membership (or say its for both memberships..if you only wanted one, thats the cost of the one to you). Especially since CA is a part of the alumni association and not the athletic department.
